True, Morgan. THe former gov of MI, Engler, started to point out on ABC the bogus numbers with people just falling out of the job market.....but he was cut off by another panelist.
MTP, Santorum is asked about some deal between Paul and Romney.....santorum responds that Paul is running ads against Santorum in MI, and yet Paul isn’t even running there - what does that say?
Gregory asks Santorum about “snob” comments regarding obama saying every American should to go to college. Gregory asks is your vision that everyone shouldn’t have the opportunity? Santorum points out skilled trades, etc. People have different strenghts/interest/skills......these other skills are valuable. (lol........Santorum should be able to win this argument....anyone hired a plumber lately? It ain’t cheap, and their skills are pretty important.)
Gregory asks Santorum about incentivizing manufacturers through tax policies, but being unwilling to extend unemployment....isn’t that hypocritical? (I’m not sure I get the connection, maybe I heard the question wrong?)
On Santorum’s comments about the JFK speech,
Santorum says his biggest problem is with the first sentence of that speech where JFK says “I believe in America where the sperartion of church and state is absolute.” (paraphrased) Santorum says this is anethetical to the first amendment. People should be able to come into the public square and affect public policy.
Santorum defends his positions as HIS values, not something he wants to force on Americans. Says he talks about other issues far more, but media is pulling up speeches from years ago and analyzing them. Santorum says unlike other politicians, he actually answers questions when asked.
